Mere mortals and supernatural inhabitants of the vast Hip-Hop emporium, the time has come upon us for the mass exodus of culture in SXSW.

Behold… Read the rest of this entry »

Fresh off referring to Rose as this season’s leading MVP candidate, MJ spoke very optimistically of the current Bulls squad at a recent ceremony celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the franchise’s first championship. Read the rest of this entry »

According to Cam and his ace Miss Info, yesterday’s track, “Throw It In The Air,” was stolen from his email. Bad business, but I guess we all benefit since Killa decided to release the proper version with assists from Jimmy, Vado and Sen City. Read the rest of this entry »

Uhm, who lit a fire under Jean Greasy’s rappin’ ass? Three straight days, three releases. Read the rest of this entry »

Mac Miller’s title for his latest mixtape, Best Day Ever, could qualify as understatement of the year because this Pittsburgh native has been having a best day every day for the better part of seven months now. His K.I.D.S. tape woke up everyone from your 15-year-old sister to old Hip-Hop heads concerning the young gun’s potential and Best Day Ever–coupled with an XXL Freshman ’11 cover appearance–only provides further supporting evidence.

We appear to be staring a NFL work stoppage in the face, but at least we have some new Killa to kick off the weekend. Come to think of it, Cam should have been the mediator between the owners and players’ association. Imagine the press conferences. Read the rest of this entry »

The snarky subliminal found in the title of Jean Greasy’s new single should come as no surprise as her cerebral cortex has been known to illuminate the show for sometime now, almost mirroring the fictional version of her moniker to strikingly close proximity. Approaching a beat with the A-B-C formula of lyric-lyric-punchline is like a peanut butter & jelly to woman; it bores her to the point where the majority of her raps Read the rest of this entry »

And Athrin thought the title was a well-crafted barb by Beware. No, this is serious. And the cover is vanglorious as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Fresh from receiving the nationwide spotlight on 106 & Park, Daytona the Kid is celebrating in Manhattan with Gangsta Gibbs and plenty of groupie love with yet another drop from The Interlude. Cook Classics took a serious hit of the “chronic” and carved out a sinister number, straight from the rolling papers of a Dr. Dre classic so incorporate some West Coast flavor into the East Coast and Midwest.

Normally, I would have transcribed thoughts for situations like this. However, pictures sometimes speak the full 1,000 words on their own. Read the rest of this entry »

After she appeared on his track earlier, Kansas City’s XV joins Erin to get “Naked” on a remix. These two are diamonds in the rough and ones to watch. Quote me. Read the rest of this entry »

The problem with myself and the game of basketball is that I peaked too early. During the little league days, my career averages centered around nine points, three rebounds and two assists a game. I was doing things an eight or nine year old just wasn’t supposed to do on a basketball court. ESPN even projected me going #1 in the 2004 draft – in 1994. Read the rest of this entry »

The Starting Five:

Barkley has a message for the Miami Heat: “Listen, I like Dwyane (Wade) a lot and I like LeBron (James) a lot. They are really starting to get on my last damn nerve. I’ve heard Dwyane say it twice and I’ve heard LeBron say it twice, that America is happy now that the Miami Heat are losing.
